Leaders from Alameda County, Waste Connections and Talco Plastics are among the group of stakeholders that will oversee California’s extended producer responsibility program for packaging and paper.
The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, or SB 54, required the California Department of Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to appoint a producer responsibility advisory board by July 1. Selections were announced June 30.
The 16-person board, tasked with identifying barriers and solutions to a circular economy and giving feedback on the implementation of SB 54, includes representatives from industry, manufacturing, environmental groups and municipalities. It does not have regulatory power, but serves to advise the producer responsibility organization (PRO) and review plans.
